Hello.  
I’ve bought a new Form 1+ printer in april 2015 and since that successfuly printed 1 liter of Clear Resin and 1 Liter of Castable, changing the tanks after 1 bottle respectfully. After that i didn’t print for about half a year.  
Later on i tried to print on a clear tank with ~ 1 y/o Grey Resin and nothing printed some flat blobs on Build Plate and some Cured jelly in the tank.  
So i’ve ordered new tank and new Tough Resin, now in September 2016  
cleared the main mirror with IPA, but still same result - No printing.  
i tried Adjusting Z level, via Fine tuning, tried heating Resin to 33 C - still no printing

How can i make Form 1+ to actually print?

How are your mirrors? Did you inspect them to ensure it doesn’t have smudges?

Normally that’s always the problem with Form 1.

Then I guess your issue is a bigger thing, send FL a support ticket they’re great helping out! But be aware that sometimes they take time to answer.
